I read from Jack Posobiec (OANN host) that according to the constitution, if the House impeaches our President and the Senate fails to convict, then his first term is basically nullified. Thus he can run for 2 more terms per the constitution. This would drive the Dems really bat.... crazy if correct on the constitution. Can anyone verify the interruption of the Constitution on this?

The Constitution says very, very little about Impeachment. Basically, the Senate handles it and the Chief Justice oversees it. That’s about the level of detail you get.

I don’t know how Jack Posobiec reads between the lines to reach the conclusion that President Trump might get three terms out of this. That seems utterly baseless.

Either what he said is misunderstood or Jack is vaping Chinese THC.

IF this is true...

No doubt Hold On Now would have the proper connections; perhaps ask Sen. Ted Cruz (or someone in the Admin can go to to Jay Sekulow, or Glenn Reynolds, or the Supreme Court, or check history of deliberations & such during prior impeachments?)

Oh come on. Clinton was impeached but not convicted. Did that fantasy nullification scenario happen? No.
